Threat Defense Managers
Table 1: Threat Defense Managers
DescriptionManager
The management center is a powerful, web-based, multi-device manager that runs on
its own server hardware, or as a virtual device on a hypervisor. You should use the
management center if you want a multi-device manager, and you require all features
on the threat defense. The management center also provides powerful analysis and
monitoring of traffic and events.
In 6.7 and later, the management center can manage the threat defenses from the outside
(or other data) interface instead of from the standard Management interface. This feature
is useful for remote branch deployments.
The management center is not compatible with other managers because the
management center owns the threat defense configuration, and you are not
allowed to configure the threat defense directly, bypassing the management
center.
Note
To get started with the management center on the Management network, see Threat
Defense Deployment with the Management Center, on page 5.
To get started with the management center on a remote network, see Threat Defense
Deployment with a Remote Management Center, on page 47.
Secure Firewall Management Center
(formerly Firepower Management Center)
The device manager is a web-based, simplified, on-device manager. Because it is
simplified, some threat defense features are not supported using the device manager.
You should use the device manager if you are only managing a small number of devices
and don't need a multi-device manager.
Both the device manager and CDO in FDM mode can discover the
configuration on the firewall, so you can use the device manager and CDO
to manage the same firewall. The management center is not compatible with
other managers.
Note
To get started with the device manager, see Threat Defense Deployment with the Device
Manager, on page 89.
